Frakturmistanke efter lavenergitraume hos patient med kraniocervikal pneumatisering

Abstract

We report the case of a 58-year-old male who, after a minor traumatic ski injury, experienced nonspecific neurological symptoms. A head and neck CT scan revealed extensive craniocervical pneumatization, an extremely rare condition characterised by progressive replacement of bone in the upper cervical vertebral bodies by air from the mastoid processes. Imaging showed severe cervical bone thinning but no fracture, and the patient was managed conservatively without surgical intervention.
